Man arrested over shopping centre fight

A man was arrested by police on Friday (28 November) after Enfield Council’s CCTV operators alerted police to a fight at Edmonton Green Shopping Centre then directed officers to his location.

The man was spotted with a metal pole during the incident just after 6pm, which he hid under a car before leaving the area, when police arrived CCTV control room staff directed officers to his location and he was arrested.

Enfield Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment and Community Safety, Cllr Chris Bond, said: “We have an excellent CCTV network in this borough and that means if you commit a crime in Enfield within sight of a camera you can’t run and you can’t hide.

“We will not allow people to behave in a threatening manner and we will use out extensive CCTV network to track them down, so I’m delighted we could work with the police and have this individual removed from the streets for the public’s protection.”
